• DONATE your AP exam review books and college search books to the CCC - With this year wrapping up, please do not discard your AP review books as the CCC would love to have them. We will take any AP review books, SAT/ACT practice books, and any college search books (Princeton Review, FISKE, etc). Simply have your child drop them off in the Guidance Office (CCC room) anytime before the end of the school year. We prefer to have more recent books on hand - so preferably anything 2014-2017 would be wonderful! Thank you!!
• The "Crimson Sound" Marching Band Color Guard & Percussion sections will be holding Audition/Educational Clinics on May 1st, 8th and 15th at YPAS from 4 - 6 pm. You must attend all 3 sessions unless there is a reasonable school conflict. Meet in the YPAS band room by 3:50 pm. Auditions are open to all grade levels and magnets. The "Crimson Sound" is expected to have around 80 members next year with a return of 50 members. The band will compete in State and Mid-States Championships in the 2017 season. Come check out one of the largest competitive student organizations on campus. If you have any questions, feel free to email Mr. Gregory and more info can be found on the band website at www.dupontmanualbands.weebly.com.
• The renovation of the YPAS building and auditorium is nearing completion, however, there were not enough funds provided by JCPS to provide an "orchestra shell" inside the auditorium. The Orchestra Shell is essential to properly reflect sound for performances on stage. The Producers, the parent organization for YPAS, have kicked off a crowd fund-raising campaign by donating $55,000 of the $200,000+ cost needed for the new orchestra shell. Please visit www.YouCaring.com and make any donation amount possible. Manual/YPAS students and families, we truly need your support and donations to make this new orchestra shell a reality to benefit our very talented students!
• Additionally, you still have the opportunity to "Name Your Seat" in the YPAS auditorium. Honor a YPAS/Manual student, pay tribute to a special teacher, memorialize a friend or leave a message of encouragement. A special "Unveiling Reception" will be held on Wednesday, May 10th at 7:00pm for you to see and sit in your seat! FREE event, courtesy of The Producers!
